And while a great deal of debate still exists on gun control . . . Deaths of children continue to mount as 2nd Amendment advocates fight for the rights of responsible gun owners but don't really have an answer for people who are dangerous and irresponsible but also legally own guns.

Gun control starts with the individual (not the government), and that responsibility includes not allowing your firearms into the hands of unauthorized users. This parent is a negligent firearms owner and directly caused the death of a child, and will hopefully face criminal charges.

Yes, let's call it an accident, an aberration from the norm of "responsible" gun owners. Just like that kid that got shot yesterday. And the day before. And the day before. The problem is, most of you gun nuts are flat out stupid people. Seriously, you're really fucking dumb. So these "accidents" will keep happening, and Americans will keep on burying their children. Fucking DUH!
